About Us

InfraReady Products, initially founded in 1994 by the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, has evolved significantly over the years. It began with the aim of adding value to cereal grains before they were exported from the province.

Starting with no products or clients, the company, led by Mark Pickard, managed to carve a unique niche in the food ingredients market. By 1998, the company had developed 100 products, hired 13 employees, and was exporting ingredients globally. Even after the Wheat Pool divested itself from InfraReady, Mark, with the help of two investors, bought out the company and continued its mission. Today, InfraReady offers over 250 custom-designed, whole grain products sourced from top-notch producers, catering to the diverse needs of food processors worldwide.

Our Process

InfraReady's precooked products leverage an innovative precooking technology that not only shortens cooking times but also enhances the quality of the final product. This technology initiates the starch gelatinization process in cereal grains and pulses, making them cook more quickly and improving their flavour and texture.

When applied to oilseeds, the technology lowers the microbial load, thereby enhancing food safety. As a result, InfraReady's focus on quality and innovation is reshaping food preparation and consumption while setting new industry standards.
